Don't turn around, don't ever leave, a lonely room where empty days 
    G            F 
Are gathering to meet me when you're  
F     C 
gone, gone 
Dm                    G   F    C 
How in the world will I I I go on

Don't walk away (don't walk away), don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye) 
            F                                       G

All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life) 
             F          G             C 
Don't walk away   ay ay ay ay   ay ay ay 

Is it a dream, when will it end 
When everything we've ever known has ended and I'm all alone 
Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that I've never shown 
Maybe I'll find the answer when you're  
gone, gone 
How in the world will I go on 

(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay 
(Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay 
(Don't walk away)
